How to access a flow variable from JSF?

Hi,

I have a flow variable called employee. I put this variable in the flow scope using the following controller code:

Code:

context.getFlowScope().put("employee", employee);

I am then able to access this variable from my JSF/JSP views using the following code:

Code:

<h:panelGroup binding="#{flowScope.employee}"> </h:panelGroup>

I am successfully able to do the above.

How can I access my flow scope variable employee from JSF code. I wrote the following code, but it returned null:

Code:

facesContext.getApplication().getVariableResolver() .resolveVariable(facesContext, "flowScope.employee");

Any ideas??

Thanks.
